UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of DnaJ-1GD7025 under the control of Scer\GAL4Dll-em212, in combination with Dicer-2 expression for efficient RNAi, results in joint defects and reduced tarsal size, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing DnaJ-1GD7025 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
